Maybe it's time to go back to the basics. Lately there have been too many new experiments, and I feel it's actually making the overall impression more ambiguous. Personally, I want to see more high-quality works like pure competitive lesbian battles—for example, a tournament format featuring winners from the past 2-3 years, or the "IN Lesbian Battle Series" with a punitive element where two standout actresses fight until a complete resolution. Originally, lesbian battle titles were only released at a pace of one every few months, so the update frequency can't be called fast. If that's the case, I strongly hope they not only maintain the current quality but also improve it further.
A Lesbian Battle with Slaps In recent years, I feel the overall quality of ROCKET's lesbian battle works has declined, and this latest release follows that trend. While the main lesbian battle series and AV actress hunting feature actresses who can genuinely perform solid lesbian battles, other experimental lesbian battles and request-based works come across as if they're testing whether the actresses can actually handle lesbian battles. It feels a bit unfair to the actresses to conduct such experiments in request-based works.
The most commendable aspect of this work is incorporating slaps as part of the play. The quality of the lesbian battle itself ranks among the lowest in the past year, vying for the bottom spot. The lowest might be the hardcore muscular women's lesbian battle.
As for the scenario, I struggle to understand why such an outlandish setting was chosen. Depicting a subversive rebellion in a situation no one can relate to fails to resonate. The premise is a secretary staging a subversive rebellion against a female company president, but in a normal company, wouldn't that get you fired? The core of this series should be the appeal of the weak defeating the strong, but the weak doesn't look weak at all; rather, they appear to be the strong side, so I can't feel that charm. It's disappointing. Since such mismatches are seen in many works, I have no choice but to brace myself for this trend continuing in future request-based works and lesbian battles released in series. The most recent high-quality entry was probably the amateur lesbian battle?
Still, I repeat, incorporating slaps into the play is a significant step forward.
The battle between the queen and the slave was good. The lesbian battle between the queen and the slave was incredibly intense. Unlike other matches, this one completely transcended the boundaries of acting, conveying a raw realism as if they were genuinely fighting. The sense of a real fight was so strong that it moved me to tears. If this is acting, the skill is astonishing to the point of being laughable.
In fact, after watching this battle, the first and third rounds felt undeniably staged in comparison, as this match was a genuine brawl. However, the surrender scene suddenly revealed its scripted nature, which was a slightly disappointing point.
In particular, the passionate performances of Miori Yurizono and Wakana Yamori were outstanding, evoking memories of the old-school, all-nude oil catfights and that authentic, no-holds-barred atmosphere. If real lesbian battles can offer this level of serious combat, they would be the ultimate content imaginable.
